Here Paul means that he serves God in the same way that his ancestors did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

In this letter, the words you, “your,” and “yourself” are singular because they refer to Timothy. There is only one exception. A note will discuss this one exception in [4:22](../04/22.md).
